Total employment (jobs, BEA) in Virginia was 5,789,397 jobs in 2025. Source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

- Indicator id: `total_employment_jobs`
- Place id: `us-state-51`
- Unit: jobs
- Definition: Average annual number of full-time and part-time jobs located in a place, wage and salary jobs plus proprietors (self-employed and partners), farm and nonfarm. United States: Bureau of Economic Analysis regional accounts, table SAINC4 line 7010, nation and states.
- Note: Counts jobs, not people: someone with two jobs counts twice, and jobs are counted where they are, not where the worker lives. Broader than oews_employment, which leaves out the self-employed and farm workers. BEA stopped publishing county employment after 2022, so there is no county level.
